| 2.6 : 2.6: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Easy pickings and Rishabh Pant is up and running! A half-volley angling onto the pads, Pant just flicks it away behind square leg and the ball races away into the fence. Still, a good over from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Afghanistan have made a fine start. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Virat Kohli, SIX! 'Kohli goes down the ground, Kohli goes out of the ground.' |

| 6.6 : 6.6: Rashid Khan to Rishabh Pant, OUT! LBW! A huge shout by the Afghans and up goes the finger! Is that the first wicket for Rashid Khan against India in T20Is? We will have to wait and see as Pant takes the review here. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Rashid Khan to Virat Kohli, OUT! c Mohammad Nabi b Rashid Khan. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Top shot! Rashid Khan gives this one some air, full and on middle, Suryakumar Yadav goes down, uses his wrists nicely and sweeps it away hard and wide of deep square leg for a boundary. 7 runs and a huge wicket off the over! |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Noor Ahmad to Shivam Dube, SIX! BANG! First one of the match! |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Runs right after the drinks break for Suryakumar Yadav. Tossed up full and on the leg stump, SKY gets inside the line and sweeps it firmly wide of the fine leg fence for a boundary. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! BANG! Every time these two go up against each other, Suryakumar Yadav seems to have the number of Rashid Khan. Another ball that is pretty full and pushed through outside off stump, Yadav plants his front leg across, fetches the ball and nails the slog-sweep over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Rashid Khan to Shivam Dube, OUT! LBW! Excellent review! A prolonged appeal for LBW from the bowler and the keeper but the umpire says no. Rashid Khan reviews it immediately as he feels it was pad first and then bat and the third umpire is called in. This is the regulation leg break, bowled flatter on middle and turning back in sharply. Shivam Dube opts to go on the back foot and is late on the dab and seems to have got a bit of glove onto the pads. However, the replays and UltraEdge conf |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Glorious from Hardik Pandya, absolutely glorious. On a good length and around off stump, Pandya walks down the pitch, keeps a still head and drives it nicely through extra cover for a lovely boundary. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Oh, that was audacious from Suryakumar Yadav and the 100 comes up for India. Azmatullah Omarzai looks for the wide yorker but serves a low full toss around the tramline. Yadav shimmies in his crease and eventually, he just plants his front leg well across the off stump and swats it away flat in between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for a crunching boundary. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Suryakumar Yadav seems to be in full flight at the moment. Overpitched and outside off, SKY gets on the front foot and forces the lofted drive wide of mid off and the ball runs away to the fence. SKY holds the pose after that shot as well and Azmatullah Omarzai is under pressure from the get-go. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Rashid Khan ends a good over with a freebie and Hardik Pandya doesn't miss out on it. Short and wide outside off stump, Pandya rocks back and slaps the ball in front of square on the off side to pick up a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Azmatullah Omarzai to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! As clean a strike as you'll see! Pitched up in the slot and outside off stump, Suryakumar Yadav goes deep in the crease and shimmies just a bit to the off side before getting under it and whacking it straight down the ground for another biggie. SKY yet again holds the pose! |

| 16.5 : 16.5: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! FIFTY FOR SKY! He is not the number one T20I batter for no reason! |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! c Mohammad Nabi b Fazalhaq Farooqi. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Hardik Pandya, SIX! OUT OF THE PARK! Naveen-ul-Haq goes for the slower delivery, but serves this right in the slot, on middle, Hardik Pandya clears his front leg, uses all his power, and muscles it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. It sounded very sweet and we have lost another ball as this one goes out of the stadium. 98 METERS! |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Naveen-ul-Haq to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! Naveen-ul-Haq gets his man this time! No need of a review now! |

| 19.3 : 19.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Axar Patel, FOUR! A freebie and Axar Patel takes full advantage here! This is a low full toss, outside off, Axar Patel crunches it through covers and as there is not protection in the deep, the ball races away to the fence for a boundary. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Naveen-ul-Haq to Axar Patel, FOUR! You bet he can! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls this slower, full and outside off, Axar Patel opens the face of the bat at the last moment, the ball flies off the outside edge over short third man for another boundary. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Naveen-ul-Haq to Axar Patel, OUT! RUN OUT! An anti-climatic end to the innings but still 13 runs come off the last over! |

| 2.3 : 2.3: Arshdeep Singh to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Excellent shot! Back of a length and just around off, but that is enough for Ibrahim Zadran to free his arms and crunch it through point for a boundary. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Axar Patel to Ibrahim Zadran, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Axar Patel strikes in his first over as well! |

| 4.4 : 4.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Azmatullah Omarzai, FOUR! A bit streaky! Jasprit Bumrah bowls a good yorker here, on off, angling in, Azmatullah Omarzai just gets his bat down in time and squeezes it between the keeper and first slip for a boundary. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Axar Patel to Gulbadin Naib, SIX! Gulbadin Naib chances his arm and ends the Powerplay with a biggie. Dragged a bit short and angled into the batter, Naib rocks back and uses those big guns to muscle it over cow corner for a six. |

| 14.3 : 14.3: Hardik Pandya to Najibullah Zadran, SIX! Into the stands! Hardik Pandya bangs this into the pitch again, but this one sits up nicely for the batter, Najibullah Zadran gets into a good positon and whacks it over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Najibullah Zadran, OUT! CAUGHT! That one was traveling quickly but Arshdeep Singh makes no mistake and Jasprit Bumrah has his third wicket. |
| 16.2: Kuldeep Yadav to Mohammad Nabi, SIX! High and handsome! Tossed up a bit in the slot and around off stump, Mohammad Nabi holds his shape and hammers it just over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! TAKEN! High, high and taken in the deep! Flighted delivery, on the stumps and forcing the batter to have a go at it. Mohammad Nabi is forced to hit against the wind and towards the longer part of the ground as he tries to heave it over deep mid-wicket but gets a lot of height and not enough distance. Ravindra Jadeja settles himself just inside the ropes and takes a fine catch to his left. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Noor Ahmad, FOUR! Oh, hello! |
| 17.4: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Arshdeep Singh to Naveen-ul-Haq, OUT! CAUGHT! Too hot to handle for Naveen-ul-Haq and Arshdeep Singh has got two in two now. Banged in quick and short over middle and leg, rushing onto the batter and at a difficult height. Naveen just swings at it and gets a top edge back over the keeper's head. Rishabh Pant runs back towards short fine leg and pouches it safely. Afghanistan going down in a hurry now. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Arshdeep Singh to Fazalhaq Farooqi, EDGED AND FOUR! Arshdeep Singh comes agonizingly close to picking up a hat-trick but it ends up being a boundary instead. Pitched up from around the stumps and trying to angle it into the off stump, Fazalhaq Farooqi looks to hang back and block but gets an outside edge that runs past the keeper and into the third man fence. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Noor Ahmad, SIX! Noor Ahmad finally connects one and that is a flat six! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Arshdeep Singh to Noor Ahmad, OUT! CAUGHT! That's it, Arshdeep Singh gets his third wicket and India bundle out Afghanistan on the final delivery. |
